Well, I went and did it. I bought a Zenit 11 on Ebay. This is not my first Zenit, but it is my first M42 ever. Now in the weeks that it will take to get...
I bought a SMC Tak. 24mm f.3.5 at ebay, promising to be a usable full-functional second-hand item, but on arrival, it proved to be broken. The auto/man.-switch...
Eric, First congratulations!!! You have bought a fine camera!!! I own one, and mostly I shoot with the standard lens or with a Sigma 80-200 zoomlens. The best...
... Aren't there adapters that let you use K-mount lenses on an M42 body? I know they work the other way, but I thought for sure Pentax made a Kmount...
... I'm pretty sure there's a K-mount-lens -> M42 Body adapter available. You could then use all your M42 lenses on the K body. I never see this adapter on...
There is an adapter to use M42 lenses on a K-body, but not the other way around. So Eric, you should be on the stakeout for M42 lenses and an adapter, so you...

That might very well be the case, Eric! I have seen that happening before.... Jannes ... From: Eric and Kathy Craft To: ClubM42@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday,...
Yes, I did, but I only found out yesterday, and wanted to gather as much information on feasible solutions as possible. Meanwhile, the vendor offered a refund,...
hi, what did you pay for it? my personal feel is that it may not be worth the trouble. It may be better to return it and get a refund. That said, it is...
I think that is the wisest path to take. F3.5 24mm Takumars usually don't come cheap if advertised as complete and working. You won't be disappointed when you...
Hello, I have an old MIR lens inscribed "Grand Prix 1958" the lens is M42 37mm f/2.8, in perfect condition (looks like new). What can you tell me about this...
Hi ... Are you positive the lens is an M42 and not an M39. I have a M39 Mir that I got from Alex for $39.00 . It fits my reflex cameras(Start and Zenit C ) A...
... Is this the one on ebay ?. I would guess that's it's not multicoated and the image quality would be average, but if you can pick it up cheaply enough you...

Hallo Kevin I do not know it, but I have one Vivitar 1,9 35mm with M42-Screwmount and it is very sharp. The only disadvantage is the size of this lens. For a...
